What is Architecture

1.

The complex or carefully designed structure of something. Learn more in: Overview of Electronic Payment System: A Special Reference to India

2.

I. Description or specifications of design about how the information must be organized and processed. In Web design this concept applies to the contents organization in categories and the development of an interface to display these categories Learn more in: A Framework for Accessible and Usable Web Applications

3.

A blueprint of the underlying structure for linking the components of a computerised system and associated digital resources. It is more common to present a logical view of the architecture in which the components are specified at the conceptual level.

4.

How a digital library system, system component, or federation of systems is constituted or organized to operate. Learn more in: Core Topics in Digital Library Education

5.

The structure of a neural network including the number and connectivity of neurons. A network generally consists of an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer. Learn more in: Artificial Neural Networks

6.

The structure specifying which modules will be part of a system together with their functions. Learn more in: Toward a Conceptualization of Organizational Modularity

7.

In the case of a software-based system, its architecture is represented by the logical arrangement of the system’s components, along with their functional characteristics and interrelationships.

8.

Architecture is an approach to present Structures at macro level. This structure masks all the detailed operational issues for the common user of the services that the structure can provide. Learn more in: Big Data Architecture: Storage and Computation

9.

Knowledge of art, science, technology, and humanity. A general term to describe buildings and other physical structures. The design activity of the architect. Learn more in: Intelligence Applied to Smart Cities Through Architecture and Urbanism: Reflections on Multiple and Artificial Intelligences

10.

The structure of a neural network consists of the number and connectivity of neurons. An input layer, one or more hidden layers and an output layer are the layers which generally form the network.

11.

In Information Systems research, a fundamental or aggregated artefact of technological, organizational and processual character. Learn more in: IT Service Management Architectures

12.

Fundamental concepts or properties of a system in its environment embodied in its elements, relationships, and in the principles of its design and evolution. Learn more in: Methods and Techniques of Effective Management of Complexity in Aviation

13.

Utilizing the definition of architecture as ‘the realization and reification of structures of relevance’ (Chambers Dictionary, 2008) allows us to extend architecture as a metaphor to include people and places as components, and the dynamic relationships of people to the system over time in terms of their attributions of meanings and values.

14.

A software architecture describes the high-level constructs of a software system, the relationships between them, and the disciplined process of creating such structures. Such structures enable and promote understanding of the software system. The notion of software architecture is a metaphor, inspired by the use of architecture in the built environment.

The number of artificial neurons, its arrangement and connectivity. Learn more in: Learning in Feed-Forward Artificial Neural Networks II

17.

A collection of descriptions that concern each individual stakeholder. Learn more in: A Holistic Approach for Enterprise Agility

18.

It describes the main components of an entire system including its interconnections, relationships, logical and physical dependencies within a specific layout domain and socio-technological domain. Learn more in: Decision Criteria for Green Management Information Systems

19.

The overall structure and organization of a computer system, in particular the hardware or software of the system. Learn more in: Reconfigurable Embedded Medical Systems

20.

The architecture of a system is a metaphor analogous to the architecture of a building, in the sense that it functions as a blueprint for the system and the development. This refers to a description of the arrangement and connectivity of the parts of a system, their relationships to one another and to the environment and the principles guiding its design and evolution.
